“No matter how you look at it, there’ll never be 
another year like 1961.” In this, the Seventy-fifth 
Diamond Jubilee year of Hammond High School, 
many activities were planned, varied and enjoyable 
events, from Homecoming to the prom. Dances, par- 
ties, soc-hops and semi-formals were presented for 
the enjoyment of the students. From Hammond 
High’s earliest beginnings, social programs have been 
a very important part of school life. 

“I could have danced all night” always describes 
those special parties and dances presented by the 
Association, classes, and by clubs. In each event, the 
time was short, but full of enough memories to last 
a life-time. The year 1961 was no exception to the 
rule of varied, interesting and fun activities for all.

Jackie Dose, junior princess; Nancy Reitz, Homecoming queen; Wendy Smith, sophomore princess; and Phyllis Wood, freshman princess. 


From the bonfire on Thursday night, to 
the soc-hop after Friday’s game, the 1960 
Homecoming celebration was one of the 
most successful in the history of Ham- 
mond High. A crashing victory over rival 
East Chicago Washington thrilled stu- 
dents and raised the Purple state rating 
to a new high.

Homecoming Queen and her Court are announced.

After the game, a soc-hop sponsored by Student Activities was held at the Civic Center. Students paused for a quick breath 
between dances. 



After being crowned by Doug Trolson, Association president, Nancy 
Reitz, Homecoming Queen, smiled happily through her tears.

Students approach Monticello, the beautiful home of Thomas Jefferson. 
The building was interestingly designed, due to Jefferson's interest in 
architecture. 


Being an upperclassman entitles 
the student to take the Washington 
Pilgrimage, which is highlighted by 
visits to Congress, governmental 
bureaus and agencies, the White 
House, and other points of interest 
in the East. Approximately 140 stu- 
dents made the trip. Chaperones in- 
cluded Miss Georgia Andersen, Miss 
Zelda Black and Mr. Jay Wood.

tree with its gay decorations added to 
the school's Christmas spirit. The tree was 
decorated by the art department to blend 
in with the motif of the other decorations.

Customs from other lands are the theme of the Christ- 
mas auditorium. Georgene Piorkowski played St. Lucia 
and Camilla Colantonia and Twjla Reed performed a 
dance. On the day of St. Lucia, the oldest girl in 
the family carries treats to the rest of the members 
who remain in bed. 


The entire vocal music department of Ham- 
mond High combines voices for the finale of 
the Christmas auditorium sesion. Thegroup 
also sang for the Christmas Vespers on the 
Sunday preceding the auditorium. Participat- 
ing groups are A Capella Choir, Girls’ Choir, 
Boys’ Choir, choruses, and the Glee Club. 
Many activities filled students and faculty 
with the Christmas spirit. The winter semi- 
formal, the Christmas auditorium session, hall 
decorations, home room parties, and the two- 
week vacation all promoted the season’s gaiety.

“The Torchbearers” a hilarious farce, was chosen 
as this year’s play. Much work and effort goes into 
producing a finished production — by Miss Oza 
Cunningham, director; committees and the cast. 
The plot involves a group of wealthy amateur 
actors and actresses who attempt to put on plays 
under the direction of their friend, Mrs. Pampinelli. 
The results of their efforts are the subject of 
the play.

The Sophomore doss, sponsored by Mr. A. T. Bolt ond Mrs. Mar- 
garet Mertens, presented the first party of the spring. Hawaiian 
Luau was the theme of the dance, which was held in the cafeteria. 
The sophomores danced, and were also entertained by a miniature 
charmer straight from the beautiful islands of paradise. 



These students composed the Oil Panel, which is sponsored 
by Mr. Norman Beyer. Members speak on the topic of oil — 
its uses, refining methods, history, and future. Seated, l-r — 
Maureen O’Hern, Barbara Blackmun, Connie Bulkley. Rebr — 
Bill Berg, Robert Ericson. 



One sure sign of spring was the appearance of 
girl’s baseball. In their physical education c'asses, 
the girls learned the fundamentals of America’s 
favorite game; in balmy spring weather, they 
put their knowledge into practice.

Dunes dut/ubuted at Sig {Living 



Held while the 1960 Dunes were 
being distributed, the Signature 
Swing gave students an opportuni- 
ty to have everyone sign year- 
books. Dunes staff members dis- 
tributed the books to the lucky sub- 
scribers; in the bookstore, a few 
students were able to purchase one 
of the limited number of books still 
available for sale. After getting their 
books, everyone scurried around 
having his friends sign his Dunes. 


Remember ’way back when . . . ? 


Below, left — The halls were jammed as these 
students sign their friend's Dunes; every available 
nook and cranny was used. 

Below, right — Anyplace will do to sign a Dunes, 
especially when the halls are crowded. If you 
sit on a locker, however, you're not in danger 
of being bumped.

The campaign was on! Posters, signs, 
tags, and banners blossomed at Ham- 
mond High during the month of March; 
the students elected their Association 
officers for the 1961-62 year. All candi- 
dates who ran for top student govern- 
ment positions were well-qualified, and 
it was difficult to decide how to cast 
one’s ballot. Aside from covering the 
marks and holes in the plaster the 
posters served an important function; 
they inform the student body as to the 
candidates. 

Although not everyone can hold an 
office in the Association, the entire 
school can help make Hammond High 
School’s student government an effec- 
tive working body by giving it support, 
suggestions, and encouragement. 



After the primaries, the number of candidates was 

whittled to six finalists. These smiling students relaxed 
after giving their campaign speeches in auditorium 
sessions. Front row l-r — Barbara Smith, Gayle Bohling. 
Pat Harding, rear — Tom Doyle, Fred Foushee, and Jim 
Vergin. Winners were: Jim Vergin, President; Fred 
Foushee, Vice-president; and Gayle Bohling, Recorder. 


Page Sixteen 



Running for an office means lots of work. These students, well forti- 
fied with soft drinks and potato chips, searched for clever ideas to 
give sparkle to the campaign. In spite of the amount of time and 
labor consumed, everyone who participated in the election agreed they'd 
enjoyed themselves thoroughly. 




AuotiatiOH Week was sueeess 



Elected by the students of Hammond High, the Association officers planned 
and suggested ideas for activities in the 1960-61 year. Mary Ellen Alt, 
Recorder; Red Wilhelm, Vice-President; Doug Trolson, President. 



While waiting to participate in the costume contest, these students primpeJ 
and adjusted their “slightly different" styles Costumes entered ranged 
from a hundred-dollar flapper costume to an old-fashioned bathing suit, 
replete with long socks and cotton bathing cap. Old time movies were 
also enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience at both auditorium sessions. 


Association Week, from April 4 to 7, 
was a smashing success. Tuesday was Old- 
Fashioned Day, when students sported 
costumes from seventy-five years back, to 
commemorate the Diamond Jubilee Year. 
Tuesday, purple and white were the 
favored colors. Class colors were worn on 
Thursday. Friday, carnations blossomed 
on Sunday-best fashions; it was Dress-Up 
Day. The Association banquet was held 
at a popular restaurant, smorgasbord; 
those who attended came back for sec- 
onds, and thirds, and fourths . . . Friday 
climaxed the week; a Bermuda soc-hop 
was held at the Civic Center. 



Darlene (alias Doug) Barton beamed coyly for the camera 
after being selected os a charming entry in the Associa 
tion's old-fashioned costume contests.

After grabbing' a quick bite to eat, Jean hurries to apply a coat of 
nail polish. She has to rush, because she and Nick have to leave to 
attend a 6:30 pre-prom coke party.

Mother who twists Jean's hair into a french roll.

“Bali Ha’i,” the 1960 Prom, sponsored by the 
Class of 1961, was eagerly anticipated by the 
250 couples who attended. Girls busily select- 
ed the perfect formal, the boys rented a tux, 
made restaurant reservations and ordered 
flowers for their dates. 

The busiest day, however, is the afternoon 
before the Prom. What a rush the girls go 
through as they scurry around preparing for 
a party! 

Senior Jean Hoover typifies all these girls 
as she prepares for her date with Nick Gas- 
parovic. So let’s join Jean as she goes through 
that hectic process known as “getting ready.” 


Nick corefully helps Jean fasten his gift of flowers to her wrist.

Junior and senior class officers and their dates line up to lead the Grand March, which is the 
highlight of the Junior Prom night. 



The 1960 Prom was the cli- 
max of months of hard work 
by junior class committees 
and class sponsors, Miss Mae 
Kessing and Mr. Jay Wood. 
No one who attended “Bali 
Ha’i” will ever forget danc- 
ing to the music of Pat De 
Mure and his fabulous band, 
or having dinner at Chicago 
restaurants, and picnicking 
the next day at the dunes, 
even though it was raining. 
Juniors and Seniors agree, 
“We’ve never attended any 
party that was more fun.” 
No matter how you look at 
it, the Prom was a big suc- 
cess. 


Sophomores Leslie Malo and Paula Van Horn serve refreshments to Jean Hoover and Nick 
Gasparovic as the couple takes a break from dancing.

Making Sport History 

1961 was a top year in Hammond High School’s 
sports history; varsity teams took top honors. Our 
football eleven won state; the basketball team reach- 
ed the Sectional semi-final. Swimming, golf, wrest- 
ling, tennis and track enjoyed good seasons. 

Athletics is a word at Hammond High which 
includes both the teams and the rooting sections. 
This word has been built on a firm foundation of 
good sportsmanship and powerful competition. 
Names echoing through the years like Thornton, 
Nelson, Cornwell, Papais, the Kucers, Krueger, and 
Huffine are but a few who gave the Purple the pres- 
tige that it enjoys today. Hammond High School is 
proud of its traditions founded years ago and con- 
tinued into the present-traditions which have helped 
to make the 1960-61 year one of the finest athletic 
seasons in the school’s rich history.

As 2,000 Hammond High boosters shout, "Go, fight, winl" to urge the Cats onward to victory 
over Michigan City jammed bleachers and freezing weather didn't stop Wildcat fans from getting 
out and cheering their team.

Even before the first game with La 
Porte, area sportswriters lauded the husky 
Purple crew as having championship po 
tential. As if to live up to predictions 
the Cats roared through a perfect (10-0) 
season. An almost disastrous meeting with 
Hammond Morton groomed the team for 
the N.I.H.S.C. game with Michigan City, 
which the Cats took, giving Hammond 
High its first championship since 1937.

Members of a beginning swimming class learn the racing backstroke. 
In their classes, the girls learn basic strokes and water safety precau- 
tions. Other strokes, such as the elementary backstroke, crawl, side- 
stroke, and breast stroke are taught. 


Basketball is a feature sport in girls physical educa- 
tion classes. A jump ball provides excitement in th s 
game. The girls also participate in volley ball, base- 
ball, tennis, and other sports. They also gained ex- 
perience by refereeing various games. 




As soon as the weather is 
warm enough and balmy, 
baseball is popular with the 
girls. "It’s a strike!" groan 
the batter’s teammates as 
she swings and misses. 
Better luck next time.

Diving i& hobby of Aqu/t Divm 



Above — Members break the ice to permit divers to descend. 
Right — Recognize Roger Hansen? When the dive was made, the 
water was a nippy thirty-eight degrees; divers reported noticeably 
clear visibility to a depth of twenty feet. 


Self-contained underwater breathing ap- 
paratus diving is an interesting and dif- 
ferent hobby to members of the Aqua 
Divers. Formed little more than a year 
ago, the club now has ten divers with 
most of their own equipment. 

Hammond High’s pools are used to 
teach members the basic steps for safe 
diving and correct usage of equipment. 
A project of the divers was ice-diving 
at the Dolton stone quarry early in 
January. 



Clubs Combine Talents 

New clubs and ideas made the 1960-61 year full 
of fun and enjoyment for those who participated in 
a club or activity. Students who joined a club and 
combined their efforts with those of the other mem- 
bers gained valuable knowledge in working together. 

Dating back to the early 1900’s, girls had their 
own glee clubs and bands as did the boys. There were 
exciting names in clubs, such as the Sphinx, Der 
Deutsche Verein, Bohemian . . . and whatever be- 
came of the Canary Club and the Undertakers. The 
H-Men wore their sweaters each Wednesday. Some 
of these special interest groups have changed their 
names and their purposes . . . some have died out, 
only to be replaced by others. Over the years, clubs 
and diversified activities have become a most impor- 
tant segment of the whole school life.

Junior Red Cross presented an audi-

members spoke on club activities, such 
as the preparation of the gift chest 
to be sent abroad. A movie was also 
shown. Each school year, the member- 
ship drive is held to make students 
aware of the important part the Red 
Cross plays in the community. Every- 
one is urged to participate in and 
support this valuable service organ- 
ization. 




Expanded Arts Club, 
sponsored by Miss Schub- 
kegel, fosters art appreci- 
ation among Hammond

often unappreciated projects 
of the club include posters, 
designs, and hall decor- 
ations. The beautiful hall 
trimmings and Christmas 
tree decorations were also 
the work of Expanded Arts. 
The scenery for the fall and 
senior plays is also the prod- 
uct of this club — a very im- 
portant part of the club life 
at Hammond High.

Although the Student Activities or- 
ganization has no regular club meetings, 
it is perhaps the busiest group at Ham- 
mond High. Headed by Dan Lawther, 
secretary of Student Activities, and his 
assistant, Susie Peterson, this group has 
a finger in almost every social pie at 
school. Soc-Hops, Homecoming, plann- 
ing and putting up the social bulletin 
board, having charge of the winter semi- 
formal, assisting in the planning of As- 
sociation Week — all are activities of Stu- 
dent Activities. 



Cathie Hutton clips a story from the newspaper. She'll 
post this clipping in Room 5; perhaps it will interest 
some students. 


Susie Peterson, left, ond Dwaynna DeGroot carefully 
put up the February bulletin board, listing social 
events for that month. Clever and varied ideas made 
the board interesting and attractive as well as useful.

Speech and debate are popular 
hobbies with some Hammond 
High students. Extemporaneous 
speaking, original oratory, poetry 
reading, dramatic interpretation, 
and debate are some of the fields 
in which students participate. 
By entering and placing in speech 
meets, a student may earn mem- 
bership in the National Forensie 
League. During the past year, 
the Speech Arts Club presented 
an auditorium session dealing 
with the different types of 
speeches which are entered in 
area contests.

Advising and Assisting 

Our primary reason for being in school is to learn, 
to gain knowledge in how to be an' intelligent, well- 
rounded person. Hammond High School, ever since 
its founding seventy-five years ago, has enjoyed an 
academic reputation of the highest caliber. Alumni 
of our school hold responsible, respected positions 
all over the country. 

The most important part of the scholastic picture 
is the teachers, the administrative personnel, who 
make it possible for the students to learn. The pu- 
pils of Hammond High are justly proud of the record 
they have gained in scholastic achievements. Yet 
all these distinctions would be impossible without 
the guidance of the faculty. Hammond High School’s 
faculty, in 1908, consisted of only eight members; 
now more than eighty trained people, each special- 
ists in particular fields, teach at our school. In the 
center of all this activity is the group which makes 
the education machine rotate. This group is the 
counselors, the guidance group. These are the over- 
time workers who patiently steer the students into 
profitable, productive fields of endeavor. 

Here’s a salute to the 1901 Hammond High faculty 
. . . Supt. Hershaman, Principal Hill, and the teach- 
ers: Miss Bassett, algebra; Miss Morgan, Latin; Miss 
Wakeman, English; Miss Merry weather, stenography 
and Miss Masepohl, German.

and preparing them for use — all these 
duties, and many more fall to our 
custodians. Rain or shine, summer and

personalities find time to keep our

Students make use of 
the library to obtain data 
for term papers, themes, 
and other writing assign- 
ments which necessitate 
research. All sorts of ref- 
erence books including 
encyclopedias, dictionar- 
ies, magazines, and pam- 
phlets are available. Mrs. 
Jessica Rich, the librar- 
ian, is always on hand to 
assist. 



In Room 109 are shelves of college catalogues and 
pamphlets which are easily accessible and up to date 
for ready reference. While waiting to meet with Mr. 
Robert Brock, senior counselor, these students discuss 
the merits of a large university.

and life work. 










The Orchestra at Hammond High is composed of 35 members from the band, and a string section. Mr. Kenneth Geckler 
conducts the orchestra. This branch of the instrumental music department ploys for many concerts, civic and service clubs, 
educational functions, and also for Hammond Public School Music Festival, which is held each year.

Mr. Geckler measures the tone 
quality of Pat Harding s notes 
on the bass clarinet during a 
summer band lesson. Many stu- 
dents took extra lessons dur- 
ing the summer, when more 
practice time is available. The 
extra touches which add to a 
musician's skill are taught; in 
the fall and winter semesters, 
too many students must be 
given lessons, so these fine de- 
tails which improve technique 
cannot be learned.

A most important part of any high 
school is its band. Too often, the splen- 
did efforts of our band go unnoticed, or 
are taken for granted. Members march 
in parades such as the Memorial Day 
parade, Loyalty parade, Chicago Christ- 
mas parade and the Miss America pa- 
rade. 

Small groups of the band play for the 
rousing pep sessions, giving our teams 
that needed boost. They presented colors 
at the beginning of football games, and 
performed at half-time. 

Many interesting activities are planned 
by our band, which is directed by Mr. 
Kenneth Gekeler. An exchange program 
with the Crown Point band was much 
appreciated by students and faculty of 
both schools. 

The band is almost entirely self-sup- 
porting; they sold candy to earn money 
for uniforms and new instruments. The 
band is a deserving, worthwhile, and im- 
portant part of life at Hammond High.

Even though it was a sizzler, the band marched and 
played in the annual Labor Day parade. Shirt sleeves 
were the order of the day as members appeared for 
the first time in the season.

At the Michigan City-Hammond football game, band members formed a block "h’’ and played "Loyalty” as the fans 
wondered how precision marching is done.

Halftime shows take practice, and practice 
the band does — cold or snowy. Diligent work 
and repetition resulted in clever and enter- 
taining shows, such as “Brigadoon,” Cinder- 
ella, a political skit, and demonstrations of 
precision marching. These skits were so clever, 
that instead of warming up in the building, 
students sat on the bleachers in order not to 
•miss the show!

theme, “No matter how you look 
at it, there’ll never be another year 
like 1961.” 

Such improvements as color di- 
vision pages, larger underclassmen’s 
pictures, signature end-sheets, and 
even a new printer, topped with the 
most unusual yearbook cover in the 
area, make the 1961 Dunes one of 
the best ever distributed at Ham- 
mond High.

When one is a freshman, graduation 
seems but a hazy dream, but the dream 
becomes reality when one orders his an-

and finally his cap and gown. But the 
climax — the highlight of senior year — is 
receiving one’s diploma, a tangible sym-

lic Schools is Mr. R. B. Miller. Although Mr. 
Miller is serving only his second year, he has 
planned new projects which will benefit the 
school city of Hammond. The school board 
employs the superintendent to conduct the 
affairs and to discharge the responsibilities 
of the city schools.

Hazel Lindstrom, who is spending her thirty-sixth year 
at Hammond High, certainly disproves the theory that anyone 
can be replaced. Though her duties are many, most of her 
time is devoted to checking attendance and answering ques- 
tions. If you have a question, "Ask Hazel" is the rule. 


Right — Dr. Oliver L. Rapp, Hammond High’s principal, is the 
busiest man at school; he is spending his "lucky thirteenth" 
year as man at the helm of Hammond’s largest school. Dr. 
Rapp's time is spent in office conferences, in representa- 
tions in school conventions, and also in performance of many 
civic duties. Even though his time is scarce and valuable, Dr. 
Rapp always has time for a friendly smile and hearty "hello" 
to all. 





Left — Carol Johannsen answers the telephone with a pleasant, 
"Good morning." Carol has been here for nine years; her 
usual duties involve transcription. 

Above — Joan Pawenski types a stencil for the daily announce- 
ments. She works with the mimeograph, and has worked for 
our school for seven years.

Students Are Most Important 

The most important sector of any school is its 
students. Hammond High School is proud of the re- 
cord its students have made over the years, in leader- 
ship, service, scholarship and citizenship. This fine 
tradition has always been in evidence from the first 
student body to this year’s classes. 

The Jubilee Year 1961, has been one of the school’s 
finest. Merit Scholarship winners, top athletic teams, 
outstanding publications, top debaters and speakers, 
honor societies, have all brought distinction to Ham- 
mond High School. This recognition would be im- 
possible without the interest and intelligence of the 
students. Even though everyone is not a leader, pu- 
pils of our school conduct themselves in a manner 
which reflects credit on themselves and their high 
school. 










Qenio/u am the, &om of 1961 


As their first activity as 
seniors, the class of 1961 
elected class officers in the 
spring of 1960 so that class 
projects could begin as soon 
as school began in the fall. 
Seated — Dave Hugus, Pres- 
ident; Lynn Johnson, Treas- 
urer. standing, l-r — Dave 
Mueller, vice-president; Mr. 
Jay Wood, sponsor; Mary Jo 
Zandy, secretary; Miss Mae 
Kessing, sponsor. 


Officers and class spon- 
sors organized the seniors. 
“Stairway to the Stars,” the 
senior dance, was greatly en- 
joyed by the couples who 
attended. A committee se- 
lected the class announce- 
ments and name cards. 

The Class of 1961 can be 
justly proud of its record 
in academic achievements — 
seven Merit Scholarship 
finalists were from Ham- 
mond High. The class also 
had many of its members 
on athletic teams — champs 
in football, tennis, basket- 
ball, swimming and other 
varsity sports. 


Mr. Charles Sizemore, chemistry instructor, watches critically as senior Terry White 
carefully cleans a test tube as punishment for gum-chewing in class — "Seniors 
should know better," claims Mr. Sizemore.

Shortly before seventh hour, the outside of the 
building is deserted and bleak, awaiting the flow 
of dismissed students to rush out and dash for 
the busses. 




David Schmidt had the audience of students and teachers Ic&jghing 
until the tears came with his hilarious interpretation of “Auntie Marne, " 
Dave presented his cutting from the play at an auditorium session spon- 
sored by the Speech Arts Club and the National Forensic League. 


Seventh hour’s end brings students from their classes 
to hurry upstairs and rush for home. Everyone is 
happy that another day of school has been survived.

Two of Hammond's star senior gridders, George Pappas and Gary Eldridge, carry 
jubilant Coach Bernie Krueger from the field after the Wildcat’s defeat of East 
Chicago Washington. 


Many seniors participated in the 
varsity and intramural sports 
program at Hammond High. 
Outstanding performances by 
our athletes gave our school a 
fine athletic record for the 1960, 
61 year. Purely for example, let 
us take our football team. The 
predominantly senior squad left 
a fine sport record for the class 
of 1961. 


Q&uo/la RxctMed Ut Apo/ifa 




"We won!" Surrounded by his beaming team, Mr. Krueger smiles 
jubilantly after the Cats captured the N.I.H.S.C. Championship.

VALEDICTORIAN 

Nancy Miller, attractive valedictorian of 
the class of 1961, has had a busy high school 
career. She is a member of the National Honor 
Society and President of F.T.A. Nancy is a 
former member of Ace of Clubs, Junior Na- 
tional Honor Society, Booster Club, J.C.L. 
She is a National Merit Scholarship semi- 
finalist, and was a House Representative in 
1958. 

In addition, Nancy was chosen by the stu- 
dents of the senior class and the faculty to 
receive the coveted D.A.R. Good Citizenship 
award. 

After graduation, she plans to attend In- 
diana University and teach in the secondary 
schools. 


SALUTATORIAN 


Susan Pollock, the salutatorian 
for the class of 1961, has attend- 
ed Hammond High for 3 Vi years, 
finishing school early by attend- 
ing summer school. 

Her scholastic honors are many 
and diversified. She is a semi- 
finalist in the National Merit 
Scholarship Examination, Secre- 
tary of the National Honor So- 
ciety, and a former member of 
the Junior National Honor So- 
ciety. 

Sue’s school spirit has been 
shown by her participation in 
the Booster Club, and her mem- 
bership in the House. She has 
also been active in the J.C.L., 
F.T.A. , and the Ace of Clubs.

appearance to once dim corriders. Flourescent bulbs replaced 
bulb-style lighting. 

Below — "How does this decoration look?" asks an art student 
as he and his classmates prepare colorful trimmings to deck 
the halls for Christmas. 


Many soc-hops, sponsored by various clubs were held at 
the Civic Center after home football and basketball games. 
Students paused between juke box music, and caught up 
on the latest news.

ence the thrill of receiving 
their class rings, planning and

Prom, and finally, being an 
upperclassman.

Among class activities was a Sophomore 
class party. As their first project, they 
elected officers. 1-r. — Mr. A. T. Bolt, Spon- 
sor; Linda Patterson, Treasurer; Joe Cadle, 
President; Nancy Harbison, Vice-president;

CLASS OFFICERS 


Many graduating seniors envy the fresh- 
men because the latter have three more 
years to spend at Hammond High. Fresh- 
men are filled with newfound loyalty for 
THEIR school, and are enriched with 
knowledge gained in that first enriching 
year in high school. The class elected offi- 
cers and began class activities: front — Tom 
Turbeville, President; Pam White, Vice- 
president: Alden Gates, Secretary; Suzanne 
Jonas, Treasurer; Mrs. Vera Erickson, 
Sponsor. Absent — Mr. Dennis Burdock, 
Sponsor.

Printers of the Dunes 


In this book these magic words have symbolically 
fashioned together, in myriads of fascinating designs, 
all sorts of clever, unique, and sometimes amusing 
books, which have portrayed life at Hammond High 
School. Such names as Conkey, Postlewaite, Thomp- 
son, Linden, Rand McNally, Taylor and DeLaney 
announced printers who had a most important part 
in putting into print, words and pictures created to 
present yearbook readers with an annual condensed 
panorama of life in Hammond’s oldest high school 
which completes the celebration of its 75th Anniver- 
sary this June. Significant, that this year should also 
be set aside to remember and revere the life of a 
great emancipator; and his major part in the Civil 
War and its Centennial which is commemorated 
along with our Jubilee Year. 





Our Congratulations 
to the Members of the 
Senior Class 



BOTTLING COMPANY 


In East Chicago, Indiana 



The young people you see in these pic- 
tures are all on their way to successful 
careers in one of America's basic industries 
. . . steel. They decided (as we hope you 
will decide) to let Inland Steel Company 
help them plan their future. 

Some are gaining knowledge and exper- 
ience in special trades to become journey- 
man machinists, carpenters or electricians 
. . . Some are concentrating on certain 
phases of steelmaking by working in the 
open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or 
the galvanizing lines. Still others are work- 
ing in laboratories building a sound founda- 


tion for a future in steel research. 

Inland offers the high school graduate an 
excellent opportunity to further his educa- 
tion. Employees may participate in a variety 
of on-the-job training programs, or they 
can continue their formal education by reg- 
istering for evening courses offered by local 
Purdue and Indiana University Extension 
Centers. 

Plan now to investigate the unlimited op- 
portunities for you in steel . . . with the mid 
west's own steel company . . : INLAND 
STEEL.

All the deadlines were met, the pic- 
tures and copy written, and the correct- 
ed proof was into the printer. The Dunes 
staffers, long in need of a rest, relaxed in 
the home of Cathie Cusick where they 
took advantage of a few free moments 
before they started work on the 1962 
Dunes. From left to right are Sharon 
Rosenthal, Senior Editor; Wally Strain, 
A.d Manager; Sue Selsor, Editor-in- 
Chief; Sally Reissig, I-D Editor; Cathie 
Cusick, I-D Editor; Carol Sparber, Sen- 
ior Editor; Carol Chidester, Club Editor. 
Missing from the Photograph because he 
was taking the picture was Alan Ruedi, 
Dunes photographer.
